Well, I'm somewhat glad to hear of the pedestrian conditions. I went
out yesterday in the rain to re-install my Wellbrook loop heads here
after the trip to Grayland and then set the alarm this morning for
well before dawn. Got up, fired up the receiver and ZAP! the lights
went out on three of the four islands in our off-shore county. They
were out for well over two hours. All three islands that went dark
are served by the same undersea power cable and that is probably what
went out. Happily, there is a backup cable or our power outage would
have been a whole lot looooonger.
In any case, I heard no TPs this morning, but there is definite hope
for tomorrow!

I'd concur with Colin, an uninspiring morning. In fact, when I
first tuned in it was downright dreadful, however it recovered
enough to be uprated.
I also noted the Japanese big guns to be well down from yesterday.
For some reason what seemed to be a Chinese station playiing a
lengthy vocal by a woman was doing quite well at 1330, but that was
about the only unusual reception noted. Other more regular Chinese
catches, such as 945, 1044, 1206 were either feeble or missing entirely.

Listened from 1345 to 1422UTC -
And although the lower band (531 to 855) was perky,
it was a pretty empty water closet over all.
High lights included catching the NHK pips over the hour on 531
and listened to KFQD on 750 (IDed with the webstream...)
All the top tier JJ stations were WAY down; S5 to S7 instead of
S9+ on the Dual Wellbrook phased array (Drake R8)
Good audio on 639 from China. 603 was the jumble that NHP described
yesterday.
Nothing new here folks.
Back to bed.
